Yes. Since you love something in and of itself, by its very nature is unconditional. If there are conditions, then it is not love, it is dependency.
Examples: I love my kids when they are good. You don't love your kids, you love the being of good.
I will love my wife as long as we are having sex. You don't love you wife, you love sex. And even the conditions of your love of sex will have conditions.

Nah... the only loves I know are unconditional are a dog or cats love. Also God's love.... But as far a as a relationship goes things can be a little more complicated..

When it is between two people in a relationship, it 'should' be unconditional, but more times than not it isn't. Someone will put a condition on love and it is no longer unconditional.
So, considering how you worded this question, I would say NAY, all love is NOT unconditional.

not all love is unconditional.
unconditional love would mean that you are ready to give yourself to the recipient of your love (without question, and expecting something in return). this is the love for the good of another person. an example of unconditional love is benevolence. a love which Jesus Christ has shown. to love with benevolence is very hard. it means that you love someone by wanting only what is good for that someone not thinking about the sufferings you have to endure to gain that good for that person.
I'm sorry but animals do not love...
animals cannot love. they are not rational unlike man. man was created with a rational soul. animals act on their instincts. while man can go beyond their instincts. for example an animal, if hungry, would eat directly from the garbage can or kill something just to eat. man on the other hand knowing through reason that killing is bad or eating through the garbage can is bad he would not do it even if this action would make him more hungry.

Nay, as it is phrased.
Although I believe in the possibility and reality of unconditional love, the term 'love' is applied to many situations where being unconditional would be unrealistic/undesirable/impossible.
I say I love many things: cupcakes, my laptop, a new shirt--but not in the way I unconditionally love my mother, and even that is different than the way I might say I unconditionally love God.
"Love" is hard to define, but harder to universalize.

Nah. Not all Romeo can die for Juliet nor all Juliet could die for Romeo.

a dog's love is unconditional; all other forms have strings attached
